We really enjoyed it. We sat outside and the street noise was a bit loud but not unbearable. Food was good and overall, would recommend.

One of the best sushi meals I've had in a while. Our server was knowledgeable and gave such helpful detailed descriptions for everything on the menu, including cocktails. Do yourself a favor and add this place to your San Diego list.

We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The host and servers were all so kind and welcoming. We were given amazing recommendations for sake (dry & fruity in a pink bottle- so cute)! We tried the salmon nigiri which was sooo fresh and tasty ! We also got the Kobe wagyu specialty roll & the the blue fin toro- taku roll. They were both incredible, I haven't stopped thinking about them since! The wagyu was my favorite- out of this world, can't wait to go back!!!

I have been coming to Azuki for 15 years.
The wait staff is awesome, the service is great, and it’s got great food - but the outdoor seating is awful!
You are on a hill, sitting sideways and slanted, and it’s very uncomfortable. “Banker’s Hill” is the name of the neighborhood. How about a minor quality fix to make it, you know, level. It’s like eating while sitting on a teeter totter.
Whoever made the final decision that having customers sit on a slanted hill was not in their right mind or trying to cut costs, and this place isn’t cheap, so the place should do better. Basically if you don’t get a seat inside, it’s not worth the trip.
If you have the slightest back problem, this poor seating arrangement will accentuate it and you will not enjoy your meal. If you don’t have a back problem, you may start to have them after sitting there, it’s that bad.

One of the best sushi place in San Diego for sure, we had a really great time, everything was really delicious, i really suggest the “ are you kidding me” roolls, we loved it !!
Just a well-done restaurant overall. I’ve eaten here twice now and both times I’ve left so impressed with the quality of fish and experience. The tuna belly was some of the most tender sashimi I’ve ever had, and I’ve eaten Michelin in Japan.

Great sushi with the Kobe and the Blue fin rolls being a go to. Will be back when I’m in San Diego again 🍣
Azuki Sushi is one of San Diego’s best spots for high-quality, creative Japanese cuisine. The spicy tuna crispy rice is a must-order perfectly crunchy on the outside with just the right amount of heat and freshness in every bite. The miso cod is equally incredible tender, buttery, and full of flavor that melts in your mouth.
The presentation is beautiful, the atmosphere is modern and inviting, and the service is consistently friendly and attentive. Whether you’re sitting at the bar or dining on the patio, every visit feels special.
If you’re looking for a sushi spot that delivers both quality and creativity, Azuki never disappoints. The spicy tuna crispy rice and miso cod alone are worth the visit!
